Official Democrats keep control of the US Senate

Everyone who bought into that "red wave" idea and went around publicly proclaiming it for weeks has been humiliated. They are now the objects of scorn and ridicule, all because their gullibility and ego got the better of them.

Someone in your bed, that would be a new experience for you.

And THIS is why we need to declare Election Day a national holiday and severely restrict mail-in voting. Require all people to GO TO THE POLLS and vote unless they have a legitimate reason (military serving out of home state, elderly who can't leave their rest home, etc.). If the people of Iraq could walk long distances to the polling locations while dodging IEDs and sporadic small arms fire, Americans can go to the polls, too. Also, require photo IDs to vote. These two changes alone will end almost all accusations of voter fraud.

We should keep in mind that 60% of the seats that were up in 2022 were held by Republicans. And:

Fourteen seats held by Democrats and 21 seats held by Republicans were up for election in 2022. Republicans were defending two Senate seats in states Joe Biden (D) won in the 2020 presidential election: Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Democrats were not defending any Senate seats in states Donald Trump (R) won in 2020.

So the cards were stacked somewhat against the GOP going into the election, and their candidates and voters did not overcome that modest disadvantage in the way that one would ordinarily expect to see in a midterm election.

Anyway, get ready for two years of the Senators confirming judges and raising money for 2024--and not doing much else, for which they'll blame a GOP House.

No they wouldn't. The beauty of a conspiracy fraud claim is that you don't need logic or facts to make the claim. You just speculate and invent stuff that could have gone wrong and then declare victory.

In other words, no one is going to change perfectly workable rules to make them more difficult, just because a small percentage of people will claim a conspiracy whenever things don't go the way they want.

Many citizens voted, very concerned and upset about R nominated Supreme Court 'justices' who took bodily autonomy from half the population. R candidates who support forcing women to carry to term a pregnancy that could kill them, or could be the product of rape, or could mean they will live in poverty (with their child). Or support locking them up. But those things should not be even part of the discussion because it is NOT their business. Bodily autonomy.

If Election Day is declared a national holiday or doesn’t mean all businesses must close for people to vote.

Was your work closed for Veteran’s Dat?

Stores are open on New Years Day, so people work then.

Election Day is a day when you must submit your vote by or mail your ballot by.
Then you count all the votes and the votes are certified at a later date.

No winners have been decided yet.
Only projected.

If you remember, the 2020 presidential election wasn’t certified until . . .

wait, what was that date?

Oh yes, January 6th, 2021.

Still locking up those losers. Up to the top -- no kings.

How about mandatory voting?

We see who every single American wants in office.

Would you be cool with a system that collects everyone’s vote?

This thread will be deleted soon.

Lonely, depressed, mentally ill, single Karens and stupid people under 30 decided this election.

The core of the Democratic party is the most useless group of people the country has ever seen.

^^

Exactly. Democrat voters are stupid people.

SCOTUS returned the decision to the states. No one lost their "bodily autonomy".

Other than the ‘under 30’ part, that describes you to a tee.

Right. The SC kicked abortion to the states, so people in many states voted to prevent Republicans from banning abortion locally.

It will get worse next time for Republicans if those that did win locally go ahead and institute those bans now that the SC has given them that power.

If abortion is your primary concern in this economy when there's over 40 forms of birth control you're a GD moron.

Everything gets worse for everyone the longer people like you have power.

The elections move in this direction not only because it is easier to count the votes of far-flung rural districts than the urban masses, but also because early voters are predominantly Republican and mail-in voters are predominantly Democratic.

As for motivations of voters this year, the incumbent president had lost major seats in 19 out of the last 21 midterm elections, which would push things in a Republican direction, as would inflation and the perception of urban crime (actually down this year), and to some degree wedge issues such as books to be banned, while the actions of the courts and states to ban abortion and the fact that Republicans were supporting the Jan. 6 riots and those who had voted to overturn a lawful election (largely overseen by and approved by Republican state officials in the close states in 2020), favored the Democrats.

Time for the loser M*A*G*A Republicans to go home and try to embrace reality.

This is the United States of America, not some country that wants to be run by a dictator.

Ya lost! For Democrats to keep The Senate (and perhaps even add a seat if Warnock wins the runoff) when we have such high inflation and an OLD Joe Biden who isn't super well liked, shows how far the GOP has fallen.

Trump-backed Republicans did very poorly. Republicans at odds with Trump did well.

Time for you nutbars to shut your faces and go into your double-wides and stay there.

Who supported the January 6th riots?
